This has been happening for maybe the last 6-8 months. I followed the same process before too, I download a video from insta, drag it into Pr in order to sync my clips but since recently there is the tiniest skip in the audio. If I refresh it, it could be at a different place in the timeline. It is also in the source monitor. It is not heard when I play this download in media player.
I have tried changing frame rates, once in a while making a new sequence removes the problem, but sometimes it comes back again. Recently had Adobe Support look at that and somehow since then Pr is crashing even more so than usual. Any advice would be helpful.

That is almost undoubtedly VFR ... variable framerate media ... the image frames constantly change how many are showing per second, while audio is constant.
It's easy enough for simply video playback apps, but NLEs are really hit hard by that weird behavior.
You may need to convert CFR, constant frame rate video, using Handbrake or ShutterEncoder, two free utility apps. You can batch convert in both so you don't waste time. Then import the converted files in Premiere.

If the solution offered by R Neil Haugen doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.
